Annabel Lee Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 So I've been reading a chapter or 2 from the original Wizard of Oz by Frank L. Baum to my boys at night before bedtime (dd isn't interested in the least). Tonight they had all their stuffed animal dogs, whale, chick, and a few others join us to listen. I do voices for the different characters so they can better decifer who's talking in the story. Then they started acting it out as I told it with their toys. "Chickie" played Dorothy, "Sandy" the big dog played the Lion, "Whaley" was the Scarecrow, and 2 miniature dogs played Tinman and Toto. This was humorous and so cute to watch! They really enjoyed it, and asked for an extra chapter tonight. My heart just swells to see them engaging their imaginations like this and it makes me SOOOO happy that I am homeschooling! Little bits like this sweep those pesky doubts away quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are already starting to do less of that kind of thing, and I miss it. Mine are 12, 8, and 6. Btw, we had a "Whaley" at our house, too, and he was much beloved. :) Erica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
